Summary:	"Newgrange provides an account of Ireland's premier Neolithic passage tomb. The authors present a synthesis of years of excavation and research at home and abroad. This book clarifies many complex issues that have been addressed in widely scattered academic publications. It places the passage tomb in its broader European context and enriches our understanding of Newgrange's place in world prehistory."--BOOK JACKET.
